Chapter 374 The sky is high and the emperor is far away
Following Li Chaohuasha's eloquent story, those powerful and brave eunuchs in the deep palace became extremely mysterious.
Li Changshi and Li Susu both opened their eyes wide, opened their mouths slightly, and let out a soft cry: "Oh..."
My heart suddenly dawned.
Li Susu exclaimed: "Is Mr. Shen a master in the field?"
Rumors about Ouchi masters.
I’ve heard of it!
Because his whereabouts are too mysterious and his identity is too special.
Therefore, in this era, there are many legends about brave eunuchs and powerful eunuchs. According to the storytellers, these powerful eunuchs are all three feet tall, can walk over walls, have bronze heads and iron bones, and are invulnerable...
Li Changshi's bright eyes rolled.
Also relieved.
"What Chaohua said makes sense."
in this way.
Finally, it can be explained why this Master Shen is not close to women and is so different from ordinary people that he is not moved when faced with two first-class maids who are at his mercy.
It turns out that it's not that he doesn't steal sex, but that he is powerless.
At this moment, Li Chaohua felt regretful. She patted her face lightly and sighed, "It's my fault for not thinking carefully."
The flattery slapped the horse on the leg.
No wonder Lord Shen looks unhappy.
Li Changshi was still on the side and comforted him with a few words: "I can't blame you for this."
Who would have thought of this?
Turning her big black and white eyes, Li Chang called her stepdaughter Su Su over and gave her some instructions in her ear.
"In that case, Su Su... you can put aside the matters in the escort agency for a while and get closer to Mr. Shen... and ask more about Mr. Shen's preferences."
That's the case.
Li Chang felt that nothing would happen to her stepdaughter who had not left the court, and she would not be delayed in getting married as long as she was close to Mr. Shen. What kind of outrageous thing could a father-in-law do?
Under the instructions of the chief escort.
Li Susu nodded seriously and responded solemnly: "Yes!"
But I don't know why.
When she thought of Master Shen, although he was an extraordinary warrior, he was disabled from birth, Ms. Li felt a little sad and empty in her heart.
Feeling a little down.
After a while.
The three members of the Li family cheered up and walked into the escort office while discussing how to send the two maids back and buy some gifts to please Mr. Shen.
Anyway, women should never give it away.
In any case, Master Shen and Dongchang should hold on tightly to their thick legs. This is a god-given opportunity for the rise of Pingyao Escort Agency.
As for reputation...
Li Changshi's bright eyes gradually became determined. Compared with the rise and fall of the Pingyao Li family, reputation was not important.
The other end.
Walking on the long street.
Shen Lie suddenly sneezed for no reason while on horseback, then touched his nose involuntarily and murmured to himself.
"strangeness."
Return to Baihusuo.
Looking at the newly renovated courtyard wall and the gate, Shen Lie rubbed his chin and thought about it. Now everything is ready, all he needs is the east wind.
Shen Lie planned to start recruiting troops in a few days, but before recruiting troops, he had to have ordnance, so he hurriedly led the guards to the general military office on the opposite street.
Forget about the governor's office.
not going.
Shen Lie felt that the governor would not give him a good look, so he planned to submit a message asking to see Li Ying'en, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Province.
Firstly, I wanted to pay my respects to the dock, and secondly, I wanted to ask the Commander-in-Chief to approve a note to get some ordnance from the armory.
After a while.
Shanxi Zongbing Yamen.
The post had been handed in, and the doorman took Shen Lie into the signing room, served tea respectfully, and began the long wait.
One morning passed.
Seeing that after dinner, the Commander-in-Chief still didn't show up, Shen Lie stood up and looked at the pot of herbal tea on the table.
Shaked his head.
"Let's go."
After adjusting his official uniform and patting his butt, Shen Lie walked out of the General Military Office. This was not the first time that he had encountered such a thing.
The Commander-in-Chief didn’t say see you, nor did he say no, he just asked you to wait...
This is called a closed door.
Why is the Commander-in-Chief not willing to see him? I guess this Master Li is also protecting his own safety, fearing that by befriending him, a traitorous factory guard, he will be stained with blood in the future when settling scores.
Standing in the street for a while.
Shen Lie walked into the nearby Bingbei Dao Yamen again. According to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, the ordnance and equipment for both the frontier army and factory guards should be supplied by Bingbei Dao.
But the post was submitted.
Waiting for it.
But it was Lord Bing Beidao who declined coldly.
"No see... please come back!"
Seeing the cold expression on the man's face, Shen Lie was filled with rage. He was about to rush forward and beat the man, but he was held back by two of his subordinates.
"My lord, my lord!"
"That's all."
After being persuaded by his subordinates, Shen Lie cursed and left, angrily returning to Baihusuo all the way, still feeling very unhappy in his heart.
he knows.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away.
All the yamen in Datong Mansion are already monolithic. It is really difficult for Dongchang to gain a foothold here. He doesn't know how many stumbling blocks are waiting for him, both covertly and covertly.
Without ordnance, he would not be able to pull up his troops. Presumably the governor, the commander-in-chief, and the adults in the army must have already discussed this!
"Grandson Turtle!"
After cursing for a while, Shen Lie waved his big hand and counted the banknotes he brought, feeling much more at ease in his heart.
You won’t be given ordnance, right?
I'll buy it myself!
Think about it.
Shen Lie felt that the purchase of ordnance still had to fall on the young master of the Pingyao Escort Bureau, so he had no choice but to pay another visit.
So the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Pingyao Escort Agency.
When Shen Lie entered the escort agency, he suddenly discovered that the young master Li Chaohua he was looking for was not there. The young master had personally escorted a batch of military rations to the Ningxia Guard.
The young master's family was not here, and facing the head escort Li Changshi and the eldest lady Li Susu who came to receive him, Shen Lie stood up and left.
After all, there is only a widow in this inner house, plus a young lady who has not left the court. It seems inappropriate for him, a grown man, to always run into other people's inner houses.
But he just got up.
Li Susu walked over with a smile, stretched out her jade arm to hold Shen Lie's arm, and leaned her fragrant body generously towards her.
Shen Lie was startled, and then he saw a pretty flowery face smiling at him very close to him, and the breath was like blue from the little cherry mouth.
"Brother Shen...are you going to purchase ordnance?"
My arm felt soft.
Shen Lie's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but want to take his arm out, but Li Susu hugged her too tightly, and her flowery smile was a bit inexplicable and strange.
Shen Lie was stunned.
Then she looked at her elder again, only to see that the beautiful head escort was also smiling and looking disapproving.
Shen Lie felt a little numb, so he gently freed his arm, and then asked tentatively: "Miss Li...does she have any connections?"
Li Susu nodded and said softly: "Yes."
Shen Lie put aside the surprise in his heart and suddenly understood that this was not the capital but Shanxi, a military town adjacent to the northwest. It was not difficult to obtain arms.
